Chapter 137: After the Tribulation

In the dark, damp and smelly Xuzhou Liguo Prison Prison, countless prisoners and people are looking forward to it, and many of them are standing in front of the bars of the cells and listening carefully.

It was early in the morning, and the sun was shining through the skylight on the roof, shining on people's faces and bodies, and sprinkling warmth.

The rumbling cannon sound in the southwest kept coming, which was obviously in the direction of Xuzhou City. The expressions of the detainees were full of excitement and uneasiness that could not be concealed.

Under the rule of such a tyrannical official, the people locked up in it still have to go out to work during the day, but they don't have enough food and clothing, even if they don't die from overwork, nine times out of ten they will die because of Kong Yanzhou's murder and tyranny.

Now hearing the rumbling of artillery and fighting outside, everyone's mind comes alive. Everyone hoped that this righteous army would come in and save them from the sea of suffering.

"Looks like there's a fight, and I don't know where the team is?"

"Needless to say, it must be Song Jun. Kong Yanzhou, this dog thief, he also has such a day!"

"It can't be an officer or army, it may be a loyal army. Look at this roaring sound, it must be the artillery of the loyal army!"

"If it's the way it goes, it's time for us to get to work. No one has come over yet, it seems that Kong Yanzhou, a dog thief, has really lost the battle!"

The crowd was noisy and mixed, and everyone was excited.

"Loyalty? So my brother has arrived in Hebei safely and met Wang Song?"

Jiang Hu in the cell was also moved in his heart, and he couldn't help but look outside the prison frequently.

He put his hand on Zhao Duofu's forehead, and found that the fever had subsided a lot, and his breathing was stable. He steadied himself, but in his heart he hoped that the army outside would attack quickly.

When his brother fled that day, he had been nervous in his heart, but now that the thick sound of artillery heard outside, his heart was quiet.

Only the loyal and righteous army can have such firearms, and only Wang Song will come to the rescue of Zhao Duofu.

Wang Song, I didn't expect you to be angry, the world-famous Wang Xianggong is also a lover.

The corners of Jiang Hu's mouth couldn't help but show a hint of a smile.

The door of the prison slammed open, and more than a dozen public servants and jailers hurried in behind several golden soldiers, carrying barrels in their hands.

"Pour oil on me, in every cell. When the time comes, a fire will burn down the cell, and while there is chaos, let's take advantage of the opportunity to leave!"

Several golden officers pointed to the prisoners in the cell, and blurted out a large series of chatter.

Hearing the trembling translation of the Han people, the public who took the lead hesitated: "Niu Tongshi, is this appropriate?" If they were caught by the Song army, the brothers would have no way to live. If we flee directly, the loyal army may not be able to catch us. ”

The Han people were also chattering, and the Jin Bing officer rolled his eyes and shouted: "If you are told to burn it, you will burn it, you talk a lot." Didn't you see that the loyal army broke through Xuzhou City, killed people when they saw them, and the children and old people didn't let go, can they give you a way to live!"

The Han people translated it, their faces turned pale, and they begged: "Zhu Dutou, you can do it." Otherwise, these uncles will turn their faces at any time. ”

"Fuck it!"

Zhu Dutou sneered: "Why haven't I heard of the Loyal and Righteous Army killing people and setting fires!" As soon as the cell burns down, you slap your ass and leave, what will our brothers do?"

Seeing that Zhu Du and the others were grinding, and without waiting for the general matter to be translated, the Jin officer pulled out his knife and roared angrily: "Hurry up and do things, otherwise I will cut off your dog's head!"

The Han people begged bitterly, and Zhu Dutou was forced to be helpless, and shouted loudly: "Start doing things!"

The jailers looked at each other, lifted the barrels, and began to pour tung oil into the cells.

The men in the cells had foreseen their fate, some began to curse, others knelt on the ground and kowtowed

Rao, and some people wept bitterly, muttering to themselves, not knowing what they were saying.

"If you want to live, shut up!"

Jiang Hu shouted loudly. From the conversation between these people just now, he had confirmed that it was indeed Wang Song's loyal army.

The prisoners in the cell were stunned for a moment, and suddenly fell silent.

The first people in Zhu Du outside the cell, including the Jin officers, also looked at Jiang Hu, not knowing what he was going to do.

"You guy, if you make a loud noise, be careful that Lao Tzu cuts off your dog's head!"

Zhu Du's head was furious, he took a few steps forward, pointed at Jiang Hu in the cell, and scolded loudly.

Jiang Hu said in a low voice through the prison door: "Zhu Dutou, don't listen to the words of these golden people. If you let the people in prison go, I will not only save your lives, but also give your brothers a great fortune!"

"Who are you, how dare you speak outrageously?"

Zhu Dutou's voice was hurried, and his eyes involuntarily meowed to the golden officer on the side.

"What is said below is absolutely true!"

At stake, Jiang Hu relentlessly and shouted loudly: "Brothers, below is Jiang Hu, the guard next to Princess Roufu of the Great Song Dynasty. The loyal and righteous army traveled thousands of miles, and the soldiers came to the city, and they also came for Princess Roufu in prison. As long as you let me go, fame and wealth will be no problem!"

Everyone in the cell was stunned, Zhu Dutou involuntarily glanced at the unconscious Zhao Duofu, pointed to the prison, and said in a trembling voice: "You said she is Roufu......"

Jiang Hu interrupted his words and nodded: "If there is a lie, there will be five thunders in the sky!"

Zhu Dutou looked carefully at the unconscious Zhao Duofu, and suddenly realized, he nodded, turned his head suddenly, and pulled out the steel knife on his waist.

"Brothers, kill these two dog thieves, brother will keep your family worry-free!"

The public are all human spirits, and Jiang Hu's words are also heard clearly. They drew their swords one after another and stepped forward to surround the two Jurchen officers in the middle.

"You thieves, you want to be ......"

The two Jurchen officers didn't know what these people were talking about because their Chinese were not very good. Seeing that the other party's face was hideous, and he pounced with a knife and gun in his hand, he realized the danger.

The two of them looked frightened, and retreated step by step, and the public surrounded them, all of them fierce, raising their swords and guns together, and frantically headed towards the two officers.

"Straight mothers and thieves dare to fake tigers here!"

Seeing that the two bloody corpses on the ground did not move, Zhu Du spat on the ground fiercely and inserted the bloody knife back into the scabbard.

The Han people hid in a corner on the side, trembling, and did not dare to make a sound.

The public took out the tung oil and other things, and Zhu Dutou hurriedly stepped forward and opened the cell.

"Zhu Dutou, lead the brothers, protect the cell, and take care of the princess's safety!"

Jiang Hu said loudly: "Hurry up and send someone to welcome the loyal and righteous army over." Tell them that the princess is here!"

Zhu Dutou hurriedly sent his men to Xuzhou City.

The water was handed over. Zhao Duofu opened his eyes and asked in a daze, "Is Xianggong Wang here?"

"Rest assured, princess, Wang Xianggong's army has broken through Xuzhou City, and it is only thirty miles away from here, so it should be there immediately."

Before the words fell, the voice of the leopard sounded outside: "Big brother, where are you, how is the princess?"

There was a burst of cheers in the prison, and the prisoners, including the public and the jailers, knelt down.

Mixed footsteps sounded, the leopard was in front, and countless Song army generals surrounded a young man and strode in.

"Second brother, I'm here!"

One by one, the cells were opened, and smelling the pungent smell of tung oil in the cells, Li Bao said angrily: "Cut off the heads of these two dog thieves and hang them on the poles outside."

Go!"

Wang Song strode forward and entered the cell. His eyes swept over the thin "man" leaning on the ground in the corner, stepped forward quickly, and picked her up.

"Princess, you can't be fine."

In a daze, Zhao Duofu heard the familiar voice coming: "Princess, I'm too late to make you suffer."

Zhao Duofu didn't know where the strength came from, stretched out his hands, hugged the thick neck of the person who came, and two lines of hot tears flowed down.

"You're finally here!"

From beginning to end, Zhu Dutou didn't dare to raise his head. He was sweating profusely until Wang Song left the cell, and then stood up with the support of the people next to him.

"The ...... of the prince Wei, I didn't expect it to be like this!"

The public next to him slowly got up, and everyone was pale and panicked.

"Chong Guan is angry and blushing, the big husband should be like this!"

"Chivalrous tenderness, this is the true character of a hero!"

Wang Song carried Zhao Duofu out of the cell and went to the open space outside. Zhao Duofu was placed on the soft couch, and the accompanying military medical officer hurriedly stepped forward to treat Zhao Duofu's pulse.

After a few mouthfuls of hot soup, Zhao Duofu slowly recovered his spirits. When he saw the man in front of him, he began to cry again.

"Wang Song, I can't imagine that I will be able to see you again in this life. I am content with this. ”

Wang Song nodded and said softly, "Don't worry, princess, everything will be fine."

Zhao Duofu was a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "Wang Song, I am alone now, and I have come to take refuge, I hope you will never give up."

On Panma Mountain, around each smelting pit, Liguo supervised the smelting affairs, and three or four thousand smelters were densely packed and knelt on the ground. Everyone shouted: "Long live Wang Xianggong!"

"Xianggong, the key to the north of Xuzhou, the gateway to the south, has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times. Thirty-six national supervisors, three or four thousand smelters, the sharp weapon of the country. Since Xianggong has already occupied this place, why not ......"

Li Ruoxu bowed, and his face was full of light.

Wang Song groaned slightly, and said loudly: "Zhang Heng, if you are asked to garrison Xuzhou, 10,000 soldiers and horses, plus Li Bao's sailor assistance, what do you think?"

Zhang Heng clenched his fists and said proudly: "What do you want Li Bao's sailor, 10,000 troops are enough!" Xianggong just rest assured that the villain will definitely keep Xuzhou worry-free!"

Li Ruoxu couldn't help but laugh dumbly. Wang Song sent tens of thousands of troops, not just to save Zhao Duofu, strategic considerations were already in it. is a mediocre person who disturbs himself, and he really underestimates Wang Song.

Some people cried and stepped forward, knelt down and kowtowed frequently, tears streaming down their faces.

"Xianggong, Kong Yanzhou, this dog thief, killed my family members, robbed us and other property, and hoped that Xianggong would be the master for me and others!"

"Townsfolk get up."

Wang Song comforted: "The loyal and righteous army has not committed any crimes in the autumn, and Kong Yanzhou, the dog thief, has also been eliminated by our army." Villagers who are willing to return to their hometowns will be sent to Pantang. Up and down the canal, our army has its own warships to escort them. Don't be sad, folks, let's go back and live a good life. ”

The people fell to their knees again, and everyone shouted long live.

Wang Song looked east, and the morning sun was brilliant. With the stronghold of Xuzhou, you can go to sea from the Huai River, and really open up the sea route.

After all, the ocean is the real place for a country to swim.

It is a pity that the Great Song Dynasty has such a strong shipbuilding technology and navigation technology, but it has not been able to go out.

Three days later, on the slope of Ximatai outside the south gate of Xuzhou City, a huge "Jingguan" was erected.

The heads of tens of thousands of golden soldiers were neatly stacked, layer by layer, and Kong Yanzhou was at the top. Wang Song wants to use the heads of these heinous "traitors" to apologize to the thousands of innocent souls who were killed in vain.
